install.views() error

install.packages("ctv")
library("ctv")
install.views("Finance")
Error in url(paste(contriburl[i], "Views.rds", sep = "/"), open = "rb") :
cannot open the connection to 'http://rspm/default/__linux__/focal/latest/src/contrib/Views.rds'
In addition: Warning message:
In url(paste(contriburl[i], "Views.rds", sep = "/"), open = "rb") :
cannot open URL 'http://rspm/default/__linux__/focal/latest/src/contrib/Views.rds': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

Is there any way to run install.views()? Thanks in advance.

Here is a workaround that works for Finance:

 pkgs <- ctv:::.get_pkgs_from_ctv_or_repos("Finance", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org")[[1]]
 pak::pkg_install(pkgs)

(Or you can use install.packages() instead of pak::pkg_install().)

It will install a lot of packages, and some system packages:
